Wonderful buy

I am impressed by the fine craftsmanship. The seams are expertly done with no raw edges. The weight is light but non too light. I love the fabric and the design and colors. I also liked the pants pocket design. There are no belt loops but their positioning would need to vary according to height anyway, so - I'm very pleased

I wear this almost every day

Stunning!

My cream on black robe arrived yesterday after it's long journey. It was folded inside a cloth bag which was a piece of art in itself. The robe is absolutely stunning and fits me perfectly. I appreciate the pockets which were unexpected. The colors are vibrant and the design is beautiful. The cotton is a perfect weight and feels substantial. I hope to have this robe for a long time!

"My feelings of motherhood are pure happiness and this motivates me to give my very best so my children can get a higher education and the best life possible."

"I'm Desak Ketut Raitawati, or 'Saktut.' I was born in Bali where my father was a farmer and my mother sold fruit in the market. I'm the youngest of children, and we lived a very simple life during my childhood.

"At the age of 16, I started working after school in a clothing shop to lift a bit of weight from my parents. The toughest time in my life was in my schooldays, when my parents could not pay my tuition. This is why I decided to get a job, and this experience really helped me throughout my life. Later, I went on to graduate from a local hospitality school.

"For many years, I worked in other people's clothing shops and I gained a lot of experience. I met talented tailors and batik artists and they made me see it was possible to work designing clothes on my own, although I still had doubts in myself. Through friends, I met a woman who taught me all about textiles. She has continued to support my work and also raised my confidence to start out on my own.

"Now I make a variety of clothing with batik designs on rayon and cotton. For the coloring, I mainly use dyes that are environmentally friendly. Our team is mostly women, whom I want to support so that they can also support their children.

"Friends describe me as optimistic, a fighter, and a diligent person. I am most at peace when I succeed in any of my life challenges. Even in my busiest days, I always make time for exercise as it is one of my hobbies. I am married, and we have been blessed with three boys. My feelings of motherhood are pure happiness and this motivates me to give my very best so my children can get a higher education and the best life possible.

"Novica has made it possible for me to sell my designs throughout the world without opening a shop. It makes me so proud and happy. My children will all be able to go to university so that they will have many choices in life."
